How to Find the Best Healthy Tortilla Chips

Most tortilla chips contain just corn, oil and salt and less than 150 calories per serving—not bad stats for a food that
normally gets relegated to the “junk food” aisle. We searched out the healthiest options (that still taste great). Here’s
what we found:

Bye-Bye, Baked: The taste and texture of baked chips often leaves much to be desired and
there’s no real nutritional benefit. Baked have about the same calories as fried chips, but more carbs and sodium.

Ditch the Bag: As tempting as it is, don’t eat straight from the bag. Research shows we eat up
to 80% more from a large container or bowl. Instead, measure out a single serving to enjoy.

Sing the Blues: Blue corn tortilla chips get their color from anthocyanins, brain-boosting
flavanoids, and contain slightly more protein than white or yellow corn chips.
